ACL Tear (Torn ACL)

Patient image of: Jennifer Schmoll

I had an absolutely wonderful experience with HSS. I had a torn ACL and meniscus at the age of 16 and again at 19. I got the injury from playing soccer. Dr. MacGillivray was very professional and relatable while easing my anxiety for the first surgery of my life. This surgery made me a stronger person and has not only allowed me to return to playing soccer, but has allowed me to run 2 marathons, 9 half-marathons, and many other races. I am currently 25 years old and training for the Chicago Marathon in October. Without Dr. MacGillivray, none of this would have been possible. Thank you for everything you have done for me.
